Decree of Hope by  Beth Fred   Release Date: 09/01/14 Summary from Goodreads: When insecure eighteen-year-old Kailee Hill gets caught tagging Iraq war refugee, Abrahem Yohanna's garage, she's not expecting him to act as her designated driver, hold her hair back when she pukes, or offer to be a shoulder to cry on. But she's failing chemistry and her life is falling apart, so she uses the number Abe leaves her and finds herself with a new tutor. The two quickly find themselves falling hard for each other.

To make matters worse, Kailee's previous acts make her the prime suspect in a serious crime. With Kailee behind bars and doubting his feelings for her, Abe must find a way to rescue the g...

Title: Broken Lullabies (Love Of A Rockstar #2) Author: Nicole Simone Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date : June 25, 2015 Cover Design: Okay Creations Synopsis His eyes as black as the the devils tongue His melodic voice more tempting than a siren’s call Three years ago, Camille Barker was held at knife point but her attacker wasn't the one who haunted her dreams. No, it was the man that stood a-washed in the yellow glow of the street light, his stare observant but heedless. A witness to the senseless act. The venom that dripped from his twisted lips saved Camille's life and set her soul ablaze. Reemerging from the ashes, she set upon the well worn path her parent’s always dreamed she would take. That is until rock n roller, Matthew Lee, shows her that you can only bask in the sun so long before the monsters come out to play. Excerpt I should have done more. I should have stopped it Those two thoughts ran in my head like a 24-hour film reel, whic...
